Everyone’s grieving process is different, Losing someone so close to you will not be easy to just “get over”. Took me 2 years to stop crying. Nothing worked I just had to roll through my emotions and 4 years later I can finally talk about my dad without completely breaking down. I was a complete mess, for some it takes years to feel “normal” again

[@amandadodgson2444]

The triggers are linked to our 5 senses....the missing stage you are experiencing will last for years, there are many stages of grief that you will hop in and regress back. Please look after yourselves.

So brave to talk about your grief. One moment at a time ❤️

I really feel for you. My husband passed away in May 2015, he was just 61, he was still working in the March, became ill in April and died in May, Like your mom it was cancer but of the stomach and already at stage 5 by the time he was diagnosed, it was so quick and neither of us was ready for it. He suffered so much for the last few weeks and I have some awful memories of him curled up at home looking so ill. Everyone says at least he is at peace and not suffering but that doesn't help. I went through so many feelings, first disbelief, then numbness and then anger then the over whelming feeling of sadness. At Christmas we used to go into Next where we live to look at all the Christmas decorations and the first time I walked in at the Christmas time after he had died I had a complete meltdown, I just sobbed and they were lovely with me, the manager took me for coffee and a chat but it was just the Christmas smell that did it. I have lost my dad since, he was 93 so really he did well but again Christmas was a sad time because we used to go out on Christmas day for dinner. I do now remember more of the happy times we had and the bad memories don't come into my mind quite so much but I will never get over losing him. You are such a lovely couple and you are so thoughtful and your mom was so lucky to have you both by her side throughout the time. Take care.

My heart goes out to you Nick. I lost my Mum in 2020 due to covid. At her funeral i was allowed just 5 guests,no flowers and no cars except the hearse. We had to sit 10 ft apart. I travelled to Barnsley from Manchester that took an hour,the funeral lasted 15 minutes. I was heartbroken, and as a only child, lonely.

I understand exactly how you feel. I’ve lost my dad, my grandad and now my husband has left me after nearly 30 years together/married. I don’t know how I’m still standing. Sending lots of love. Xxx

[@andreadesmarais7116]

Just a thought and I know its not the same but when I want to call the people I have lost in my life I find comfort in writing to them in my journal. I know its not the same but it helps me to remember them and think on how they would react to what I wanted to share with them. Hope this idea helps a bit <3

[@lesleybenson8794]

The best thing you can do is what you are doing now, talking. Grief has 5 stages, which range from denial to anger. You will always question if you did enough, that is part of the process and journey. You are doing amazing both of you. I hold you both in my heart. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dan-bk1jp]

Thank you for talking about your grief. I lost my grandad last year and he was like my dad. It’s 1 year next month and it doesn’t get an easier, but it’s good hearing you talk about your own grief because it makes me realise I’m not alone, and nor are you ♥️

[@valerielawley8477]

Best thing ever the simba mattress we have had ours two years , another great vlog too ❤️

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Great respect to you both, that you can blog your feelings. It’s tough. ❤

[@stevepattisonlovesorlando]

Warmest good wishes to you both, smile for the good memories, they will keep you going when times are hard. You’re talking will help others and it will help you. Stay strong and grab those new memories. Big hug from a fan. X

[@nicolacollins324]

Sending you both a massive hug, talking about your mum, really helps, good times and funny things they she may have done. I lost my mother in law and a sister and brother in law in the space of 16months . Talking about them is the best tonic. Xx

[@15isto2]

Thank you for being so open about everything that happened

[@gracewynn257]

Grief affects everyone at different stages and times, it never really goes away, you just learn to live with it, but the memories you have will help and they will never go away. You have been so brave to share this journey with us all. Take care of yourselves and Thank you again xx

[@hilaryryan6608]

My heart goes out yo you guys. 🥰 Lost my dad in 1999 and mum in 2013. Its a roller coaster but you will get there. Good & sad days. Time really does help. You were such an amazing son don't ever beat yourself up. Talk, cry, remember xxxxx Take care guys. Xxxxx😘❤

[@ToriJaneIvy]

Those little grief triggers never go away but when they happen they will eventually make you smile rather than feel sad. 5 years on for me and I still go to ring my mum and then I’m like oh. I used to hate it when people told me it gets easier with time but it really does. Well done for speaking about it as it defiantly helps you to heal. Those what ifs will past to ❤ I think this little break away is defo what you need xxx

[@rachelnuttall9309]

Sending you both lots of love. Grieving myself at the moment and feeling the same things. when you’ve been spending all your time in a caring role before you lose them. I think Nick summed it up when he said it’s hard having to do that but when it stops there is a massive gap and you don’t know what to do with yourself. You can be having a good day and then something will trigger a memory and it hits you again like a ton of bricks

[@bonniebridgman5632]

This vlog really hit home. You articulate beautifully all of the strange and overwhelming feelings of grief. I’m so sorry for what you are going through right now but thank you for this vlog as it resonated with me and I’m sure many more who have felt the grief of parental loss. Much love to you both xxx

[@michellecarcamo3781]

I’m crying thru this vlog. Thanks you for sharing so much. We will always missed a love one that passed. Every day, hour,mins and sec. We just learn too live with the pain. God Blessed you Mum ❤😢
